Listen to the music, to the sounds, to yourself

Listen to the music, to the sounds, to yourself

There are a great many books about music — about performers, groups, eras, and genres. But few ask the question: what happens inside us when we listen to music? The famous Dutch writer, author of the novels "The Crimson Petal... and the White," "Stay With Me in My Skin," and "The Book of Strange New Things," Michel Faber, in his first non-fiction work addresses both devoted music lovers and those for whom music is merely background. With great love and a fair dose of irony, he contemplates two key themes: how we listen to music and why? Deeply personal and philosophical essays form a grand dedication to music in all its forms and incarnations.
